Andrology

Andrology is a medical science that studies male reproductive health and problems related to male sex hormones. Andrologists are specialists who treat men with various diseases related to their reproductive system and hormonal balance.

The main studies that should be performed when visiting an andrologist:

1. Urological examination: includes analysis of urine, blood, sperm, and other tests to identify possible problems with the male reproductive system.

2. Ultrasound: allows you to check the condition of the genitals and other organs related to the reproductive system.

3. Hormone test: Includes an analysis of the levels of testosterone, prolactin, and other important hormones that affect male reproductive health.

4. Infertility Test: Includes semen analysis to identify problems with sperm count, motility, and shape.

5. Infection test: includes a blood and urine test for various infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and others.

When should I contact an andrologist?

If a man has difficulty conceiving a child, an andrologist can perform the necessary tests and diagnostics to determine the causes of infertility and offer treatment. An andrologist can also help in case of hormonal problems. For example, in the case of a decrease in testosterone levels in a man's body, changes may occur that can lead to a decrease in male sexual function, loss of muscle mass, mood changes, and other symptoms.

An andrologist can help in the case of erectile dysfunction, which may be associated with disorders of the endocrine system, and offer individual recommendations on health and prevention of problems with the male reproductive system.

An andrologist can help in the case of prostate problems such as prostate hyperplasia or prostate inflammation, as well as help a man who is experiencing problems with sexual function, such as decreased sexual interest or problems with ejaculation.

For problems with the genitals, such as congenital abnormalities, injuries, or diseases, as well as if a man is experiencing sexual health problems such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, or genital infections.

Andrological care is important for all men, as it allows them to identify and treat problems related to men's health that can affect the quality of life and reproductive functions. Problems associated with andrology include erectile dysfunction, infertility, impotence, problems with seminal sperm, prostatitis, and other diseases.
